general information

Sharpes also known as Skinners Head is the beach you come to as you go over the hill from Boulders towards Ballina. Very easy to find, it is right next to the main road.

A quality beach break when the wind is offshore and the swell is smaller and peaky. Always plenty of waves which thins out the crowd. Choose a bank and get out there.

There are a few rocks in the corner and the odd rip but nothing dangerous, just a fun beachy.
